The United Forum of Reserve Bank Officers and Employees said on Thursday it has deferred its mass casual leave programme scheduled for December 1 and 2.
The programme has been deferred following the terrorist attacks in Mumbai which the forum described as a 'great human tragedy and attack on the sovereignty of our country,'. The protest programme was against the Reserve Bank of India's unilateral action in reducing pension and the rigidity in not even holding a discussion on the issue and other superannuation issues, the forum said. "We have taken this decision (to defer the protest) with a conscious mind to urge our people to help in every way to the civic authorities for immediate restoration of normalcy in Mumbai city, especially by way of donating blood to hospitals, in this hour of need," it said. The future course of action would be intimated soon, the forum said.
